REC - Donut Bread Pudding w/ Rum Sauce - This one is wickedly good.

[tessie-in-cincy]

I've been looking for an excuse to try this one found perusing Food Network one day. Made this (from Michael Chiarello) for a brunch yesterday and people were gobbling it up.

Several reviewers on the Food Network site said it was too sweet so I did some tweaking:

Used plain cake donuts (no glaze or sugar coating). Used 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white instead of 1 cup white. Used a heaping 1/2 cup raisins. Used salted butter for both the casserole and rum sauce. Added 1/4 cup milk to the rum sauce and drizzled over right before setting on the buffet.

It was still really sweet, but not overly so. Just perfection. (Can you tell I love donuts?)

LOL - Just went to look (and drool) at this scrumptious recipe and the Google ad...

next to it caught my eye:

"Lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks!"

Food Network may want to reconsider who they allow to advertise!

OMG. This has to rival Ina Garten's croissant bread pudding.
